Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

If you’re looking to add the Rattler dart gun, the latest in the Max Force line, to your Nerf collection, listen up. Otherwise, it could cost you $10 to find the Rattler is no great shakes. The Rattler comes with four suction-cup darts, a cartridge and four decal stickers. On the back of the box is a small target cut-out. You attach the cartridge in front and load the darts, then pull the handle to release them one at a time. The Rattler is at its best when you’re standing still and aiming at a stationary target. It loses force and accuracy where it counts: in Nerf combat. The first two darts have some oomph; the others wimp out. On the bright side, the Rattler can’t do much damage, so it’s doubtful your folks will have a problem with it. And you won’t have to hear the dreaded “It’s always fun until someone loses an eye” speech.
